Wallpaper Love

I adore a wall full of print and have a penchant for wallpapers in the home. However, it's not really practical here, due to cost, maintenance and *quelle horreur!* the potential temptation for mischievous little hands to help colour in the patterns, treating it as a gigantic colouring book ;)

Feast your eyes on these beauties:

This is too adorable for words! I'd spend hours tracing out the branches and cherries with my fingertip.

Such a whimsical print and the metallic hues make it so elegant. I think it makes such a nice contrast to the colourful books on display and simplicity of the sign, prints and vase.

Intimidated by busy prints, why not keep it to a small nook for a greater impact? This goes perfectly with the white wardrobe and wooden flooring.

Given that I won't be wallpapering our walls anytime soon, I'm really considering getting some decals instead. These Love Mae wall decals are lovely and can be reused over and over again.

Kid Rooms

I've been really slack about moving Bubs to his own room. Before he was born, I told Hubs that he HAS to be moved at 6 months old based on what parenting books were recommending but after that, well ... coupled with the lack of shuteye, funds (it's more rewarding spending on toys than boring room stuff) ... his room is more like an empty storeroom for our junk at the moment while Bubs is still happily co-rooming with us. His cot has had one side of the railings removed and shoved next to our bed so bed space-wise, it's manageable.

Still I can't help ooh-ing and aah-ing over these cute kid spaces I've found. Still lacking in the funds-section to make these a reality for Bubs but one could still dream ;)

 The Ikea enthusiast in me recognises some of the furniture used here! I like the nifty idea of using the expedit shelves as benches which double up as storage for toys.

 If you have some spare cash, these cool LED balloons (USD73 each) would make any kid deliriously happy.

Spell it Out

Can I tell you how much I adore these ABC paper cups? These would make a fun addition to any celebration!
